“If I Had It Back”

Here’s Mark Maysey, playing a moving song he wrote, titled “If I Had It Back.”

The song is basically a dedication. Maysey explains in the notes on the video, which have been lightly edited:

Dedicated to a lovely Mexican woman named Manueal Nellie Ramos Fyock, who raised me from a child and tragically lost her life to a very unkind act. RIP Nellie, I think of you often and really do miss you and my Grandpa. Love you always, Marcos.
